Land Acknowledgement

My work takes place on the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, Haudenosaunee and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River covered by the Williams Treaties. This territory is the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas, and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the territory and protect the land. As an immigrant on Indigenous land, I am on an ongoing journey of learning and solidarity with the Indigenous peoples whose lands I live on.

I encourage you to read and act upon the Calls for Justice for all Canadians as outlined in the final report of the Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
